If you leave the ghetto trailer at 3pm on a Thursday to live at the Deridder house until Monday night at 7pm, are you really spending the weekend or living there more than half-time? The trailer is starting to feel like a visiting center. I show up to do laundry, repack for Deridder, and work before I leave again. Unfortunately, when I am here at work, I get maybe an afternoon or two when Manjina isn’t around to blog…if I’m very, very lucky. Yes, this is my computer, but I’m not big on hanging out with horny men in bedrooms unless I plan to screw them. I swear, the dangers I face to do my Spartan blogging! 
I plan to skip over and visit ya’ll directly, but if I don’t get a post up now (and a few pre-loaded ones besides), it might never happen!
Here’s the bad news: The big secret surprise is off. 
So, now I can reveal it. Paladin and I were going to sneak off and elope in April when his divorce was supposed to be final, but because of the way Mull filed, they won’t be divorced until mid-June. The elopement plan was to tell nary a soul and continue with plans for the Extravaganza. We were going to spring it on everybody at the wedding. Ginger was all “meh” when I told her this because apparently your best friend being secretly married for months without telling you is not a big deal. Makes me wonder what else I should keep secret from her. Well, it did until I told her the rest of the secret (ha! you didn’t know there was a part 2!).
As I mentioned before, Paladin’s equipment is no longer functioning for baby making, and he and his father have come up with a plan. His dad would really like to have a genetic grandchild that is also male to carry on the family name, and the idea they came up with was to use dear old pop’s pops to conceive it. Weird, right? I mean, let’s have me get knocked up by your daddy, sweety! I am already calling Paladin, “brother-daddy”. I’m hoping that dad’s sperm are past their sell-by date! But, I have reluctantly agreed to this, and we had planned to start trying immediately after the elopement and were hoping to be able to spring a pregnancy as surprise two. This poor, poor child is going to be so screwed up. I want it noted that the SOUTHERNER did NOT suggest this!!! Paladin’s brother is out of the possible donor pool since he had rheumatic fever as a child which took a toll on his swimmers. So it’s up to me and dad to repopulate the family line. Tell me it doesn’t sound like a really sick porno. Please???
Here’s the good news: On Valentine’s Day, it became official and it can be seen from outer space. 
Not bad for a “promise”, huh? The really official bit won’t come for a while (I’ve got to pick out the engagement set I want). Though, if we had known about the filing crap, we’d have went straight for the official engagement ring. Ehhh…how can I complain? I get 3 rings! Woot! 
Errr, I don’t know if I would be willing to have my husband’s daddy’s baby, but as long as they are mixing it all up in a petri dish, I guess it would work. Although how WILL you explain that to your kid? And the logistics involved, will his dad want to be the decision maker etc, since he’s technically the real bio dad?
WOW, that ring is really pretty! I really like the yellow stone. I can se how having your FIL’s baby might be a bit weird, but if ya’ll talk about it and get it all worked it out, it could work out just fine.
P.S. I know we’ve emailed before, but I can’t seem to find your email address. So email me if you’re interested in Pay It Forward. Thank you!!!!
Would it be artificial insemination? (I’m hoping). I think I would have husband to be go for the reversal (even if that sometimes doesn’t work). Buuuut, that’s just me. Good luck! It’ll be exciting to have a new baby around no matter what.
OK I had to read this twice to make sure I understood this correctly. Ummmm… the rational part of me is understanding it’s just some swimmers getting artificially (Please tell me artificially) turkey basted in there. The rest of me is tripping out about the fact that you would be married to your sons brother…. ummm… it boggles my mind a bit. All I will advise is make sure you are doing this for the right reasons and take your time to think it through. Oh and the rest of me is saying congrats on all of it. A baby is good regardless of genetics and gender.
heeeheee I had to read this acouple times too…please tell me by artificial insemination and not the traditional way….sounds all a little strange but in the nd if you and your sweetie are happy and have a little baby then whatevs….smooches and good luck no matter what!
Umm, that’s an interesting twist, to say the least! The jaded court reporter in me says that you better get grampadaddy’s lack of rights to the baby spelled out clearly in writing and signed by all parties in front of a notary just in case. Could get ugly.
Other than that, I think it’s all great if you’re happy!
Well, that’s certainly different. Just think it through and take the court reporter’s advice and get all the legalities worked out up front.
I’m sorry, I wasn’t leaving you out of my new bacony blog, I promise! I went around leaving the link hither and yon, but it turns out that EVERY comment I left on a wordpress blog that day, just disappeared! That’s actually happened to me before, and on your blog too. I don’t know what causes it.
Yeah, I would have been mad at you for keeping a pregnancy obtained through your fiance’s father’s sperm from me, but if you had eloped, I would have just been happy for ya.
LMAO It’s DEFINITELY via artificial insemination! I can only go so kinky before I burst into flames! lol The notary thing is a great idea just in case (Thanks, Lola…see…procrastination is good!). But, at least, gramps lives on the other side of the country. He also has a sexy phone voice but I’ll try NOT to think about that. lol
Oh wow. That is a very pretty ring! It sounds like this guy is willing to do anything to make you happy so that is awesome. I think it is kind of neat that grand-dad will donate the swimmers for his son.
UM, were Paladin’s swimmers damaged as a result of his cancer?
If not and it is a result of a vasectomy, you know those can be reversed! I would definately try to look into that instead of having my f-i-l’s kid. Sweetie that is seriously creepy!!!
Oh and beautiful ring!
I love to buy jewelry from HSN and QVC.
